MACHINE FOR ORNAMENTING GLASS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,515, dated September 2'7, 1881. Application filed J lily 22, 1881. (No model.)

vlo all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE H. PECK, of Meriden, in the county of "il'cw Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Ornamenting Glass; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line was, Fig. 1; and Fig, 3 is a side view of a vase or other article the edge of which has been scalloped or ornamented by myimproved machine.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted hy like letters of reference.

This invention relates to a machine for scalloping or otherwise ornamenting the edges of hollow glassware, the construction and opera; tion of which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings hereto anneYed, A represents the hollow cylindJcal sten. or body, which rests upon the baseB of the machine. The said stem may be cast in one piece with the base or made separate, as circnm-, stances may require. The upper end of the cylinder or stem A has a flange,C,upon-which the bed D of the machine is placed. Said bed is provided with a cone or frustum, E, upon which the vase or other'article to be ornamented may be temporarily adjusted and supported.

F and G represent two sleeves, which are adjusted upon the stem A. Said sleeves are provided with radial arms or spokes J K, as

clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings hereto standard A, is operated by means of a forked lever, O, pivoted to a bracket, P, and having the ends of the prongs Q slotted at R and adjusted upon studs S on diametricallyopposite sides of the sleeve G, which may thus be raised or lowered, so as to operate the levers L. The lever 0 maybe operated by hand or foot power, whichever may be found most convenient. The upper ends of the levers L are jointed to carriages T, which slid'efradially in suitable grooves or slots in the table or bed D. Said carriages or slides carry cutters or punches U, secured by means of screws V, so as to be capable of being removed when others of a different shape are to be substituted. The sides of the cone or frustum E are provided with recesses W, of a shape corresponding with the cutters U; and the said cone or frustum is to be made removable, in order that a ditferentone may be substituted when necessary.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood. The vase or other blank,while hot, is adjusted upon the frustum E, when by operating the lever O the cutters herein described are. caused to remove portions of the edge of the vessel, which is thus scalloped or ornamented.

I am aware of the patent to R. Voigt, N 0. 228,495, of June 8, 18 850, and I claim nothing therein shown but, 1

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States-#- 1. In a machine for scalloping glass, constructed substantially as described, the combination, with the stem A, of the sleeve F. the sliding sleeve G, and the levers 'L, pivoted to spokes of sleeve F, and having eccentric slots adjusted upon studs on the spokes of the movable sleeve I as herein shown and specified.

2. The combination of the stem A, the bed D, having cone or frustum E, the levers L, the sliding sleeve l gand the operating-lever 0, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony thatI claim theforegoingas my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EUGENE H. PECK.
